- ItemLiquid-Core Microstructured Polymer Optical Fiber as Fiber-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Probe for Glucose Sensing(Washington, DC : OSA, 2020) Azkune, Mikel; Frosch, Timea; Arrospide, Eneko; Aldabaldetreku, Gotzon; Bikandi, Iñaki; Zubia, Joseba; Popp, Jürgen; Frosch, TorstenThis work reports the development and application of two liquid-core microstructured polymer optical fibers (LC-mPOF) with different microstructure sizes. They are used in a fiber-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensing platform, with the aim of detecting glucose in aqueous solutions in the clinically relevant range for sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor therapy. The sensing platform is tested for low-concentration glucose solutions using each LC-mPOF. Results confirm that a significant enhancement of the Raman signal is achieved in comparison to conventional Raman spectroscopy. Additional measurements are carried out to obtain the valid measurement range, the resolution, and the limit of detection, showing that the LC-mPOF with 66-µm-diameter central hollow core has the highest potential for future clinical applications. Finally, preliminary tests successfully demonstrate glucose identification in urine. © 1983-2012 IEEE.
- ItemModulation Linearity Characterization of Si Ring Modulators(Washington, DC : OSA, 2021) Jo, Youngkwan; Mai, Christian; Lischke, Stefan; Zimmermann, Lars; Choi, Woo-YoungModulation linearity of Si ring modulators (RMs) is investigated through the numerical simulation based on the coupled-mode theory and experimental verification. Numerical values of the key parameters needed for the simulation are experimentally extracted. Simulation and measurement results agree well. With these, the influence of input optical wavelength and power on the Si RM linearity are characterized.
